This Pew Research Center survey is a nationally representative sample of U.S. teens and their parents. The data in this nationally representative sample was gathered using a self-administered web survey, and conducted among 1,811 dyads, with each dyad - or pair - comprised of one U.S. adolescent ages 13 to 17 and one parent per adolescent. The findings from this survey are detailed in the following reports, available on the Pew Research Center website: "https://www.pewforum.org/2019/10/03/for-a-lot-of-american-teens-religion-is-a-regular-part-of-the-public-school-day/" Target="_blank">Report 1,"https://www.pewforum.org/2020/09/10/u-s-teens-take-after-their-parents-religiously-attend-services-together-and-enjoy-family-rituals/" Target="_blank">Report 2. In addition to questions on religious practices, beliefs, and identity, this survey also asked teens a series of knowledge questions about the Holocaust, in order to compare adolescents and adults on knowledge of these topics.

This is the third national probability survey of American Muslims conducted by Pew Research Center (the first was conducted in "https://www.thearda.com/data-archive?fid=MUSLIMS" Target="_blank">2007, the second in "https://www.thearda.com/data-archive?fid=MUSAM11" Target="_blank">2011). Results from this study were published in the "https://www.pewresearch.org/" Target="_blank">Pew Research Center report '"https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2017/07/26/findings-from-pew-research-centers-2017-survey-of-us-muslims/" Target="_blank">U.S. Muslims Concerned About Their Place in Society, but Continue to Believe in the American Dream.' The report is included in the materials that accompany the public-use dataset.

The survey included interviews with 1,001 adult Muslims living in the United States. Interviewing was conducted from January 23 to May 2, 2017, in English, Arabic, Farsi and Urdu. The survey employed a complex design to obtain a probability sample of Muslim Americans. Before working with the dataset, data analysts are strongly encouraged to carefully review the 'Survey Methodology' section of the report.

In addition to the report, the materials accompanying the public-use dataset also include the survey questionnaire, which reports the full details on question wording. Data users should treat the questionnaire (and not this codebook) as the authoritative reflection of question wording and order.

This project investigated the public's attitudes on religion and public life. The survey was commissioned by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press and produced two reports. The sample consisted of 2,002 adults.

Breakdown of experiences of Study 2 by question framing condition.

“Religion is a critical factor these days in the public's thinking about contentious policy issues and political matters. An increasing number of Americans have come to view Islam as a religion that encourages violence while a declining number say Islam has a lot in common with their own religion. The public remains divided over whether churches should stay out of politics, even as large numbers say they are comfortable with expressions of faith by political leaders. There also is evidence that next year's presidential vote may again provoke deep religious divisions over social issues, especially homosexual marriage” (Pew Forum). This survey was conducted by The Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. (ARDA 3/4/2015).

In his 2007 book, "https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060859520/theassoofreli-20" Target="_blank">Religious Literacy: What Every American Needs to Know - And Doesn't, Boston University professor Stephen Prothero wrote that "Americans are both deeply religious and profoundly ignorant about religion." To support his contention, Prothero offered many compelling anecdotes and some isolated findings from public opinion polls. He also cited a few studies about the extent of biblical literacy among young people. But, as he discovered, there was no comprehensive, national survey assessing the general state of religious knowledge among U.S. adults.

To address this gap, the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life set out to gauge what Americans know about their own faiths and about other religions. The resulting survey covered a wide range of topics, including the beliefs and practices of major religious traditions as well as the role of religion in American history and public life. (Preface)

This study is the 2015 Pew National Survey of Latinos. The survey focused on identity, Hispanics as a distinctive group, advantages and disadvantages of being Hispanic, political views, assimilation, the economy and internet use. It is a bilingual dual-frame (cell phone and landline) telephone survey of Latino adults residing in the U.S., conducted from October 21, 2015 to November 30, 2015. Results for this study are based on telephone interviews conducted by SSRS, an independent research company, for the Pew Research Center among a nationally representative sample of 1,500 Latino respondents ages 18 and older.

For the full sample, a total of 705 respondents were U.S. born (including Puerto Rico), and 795 were foreign born (excluding Puerto Rico). For results based on the total sample, one can say with 95 percent confidence that the error attributable to sampling is plus or minus 3.3 percentage points.

The U.S. Census defines Asian Americans as individuals having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent (U.S. Office of Management and Budget, 1997). As a broad racial category, Asian Americans are the fastest-growing minority group in the United States (U.S. Census Bureau, 2012). The growth rate of 42.9% in Asian Americans between 2000 and 2010 is phenomenal given that the corresponding figure for the U.S. total population is only 9.3% (see Figure 1). Currently, Asian Americans make up 5.6% of the total U.S. population and are projected to reach 10% by 2050. It is particularly notable that Asians have recently overtaken Hispanics as the largest group of new immigrants to the U.S. (Pew Research Center, 2015). The rapid growth rate and unique challenges as a new immigrant group call for a better understanding of the social and health needs of the Asian American population.

This survey was sponsored by The Kaiser Family Foundation / Pew Hispanic Center and conducted by the International Communications Research. A national sample of 4,213 adults including 2,929 Latinos were interviewed April 4-June 11, 2002. The Pew Hispanic Center/Kaiser Family Foundation 2002 National Survey of Latinos comprehensively explores the attitudes and experiences of Hispanics on a wide variety of topics. This survey was designed to capture the diversity of the Latino population by including almost 3,000 Hispanics from various backgrounds and groups so that in addition to describing Latinos overall, comparisons can be made among key Hispanic subgroups as well.

The "https://www.nationalcongregationsstudy.org/" Target="_blank">National Congregations Study (NCS) dataset fills a void in the sociological study of congregations by providing data that can be used to draw a nationally aggregate picture of congregations. Thanks to innovations in sampling techniques, the 1998 NCS data was the first nationally representative sample of American congregations. Subsequent NCS waves were conducted in 2006-07, 2012, and 2018-19. The 2006-07 NCS sample includes a subset of cases that were also interviewed in 1998. The 2012 NCS includes an oversample of Hispanic congregations. The 2018-19 NCS includes a subset of congregations that also were interviewed in 2012. The NCS Wave I-II Panel Dataset is also available from the ARDA. The Wave III-IV Panel Dataset will be available soon.

The National Public Opinion Reference Survey (NPORS) is an annual survey of U.S. adults conducted by the Pew Research Center. Respondents can answer either by paper or online, and they are selected using address-based sampling. The Pew Research Center uses NPORS to produce benchmark estimates for several topics, such as Americans' political and religious affiliations.

NPORS was conducted for the Pew Research Center by Ipsos. Participants were first mailed an invitation to complete an online survey. A paper survey was later mailed to those who did not respond. In total, 1,550 respondents completed the survey online and 2,387 respondents completed the paper survey. The survey was administered in English and Spanish.

During a survey held in early 2021, it was found that 83 percent of adults aged between 18 and 29 years old had read a book in any format in the previous year, up by two percent from the share who said the same in 2019. The survey results showed that adults within this age category were more likely than older respondents to have read a book within the last twelve months.

Book readers in the U.S.

While it is mostly believed that book reading is a vanishing pastime, particularly among Millennials, surveys among consumers in the U.S. have shown the opposite. The share of book readers in the U.S. has varied from 72 percent to 79 percent between 2011 and 2016.

In regards to age of book readers in the country, a 2016 survey shows about 80 percent of respondents between the ages of 18 to 29 had read at least one book in the previous 12 months, the highest share amongst all age groups. About 73 percent of the respondents aged between 30 to 49 years old said they read at least one book in the last 12 months. The share among respondents between 50 and 64 years old stood at 70 percent, whereas 67 percent of respondents aged 65 plus stated reading book during the time measured. In terms of education level, book readers in the U.S. are more likely to have a college degree, or at least some college education – 86 percent and 81 percent respectively. Women in the U.S. read slightly more than men; 68 percent of male respondents started reading at least one book in the previous 12 months, against 77 percent of female respondents that said the same.

Despite the rise of digital platforms and the rising popularity of e-reading devices such as Kindle, Kobo and others, printed books still remain the most popular book format in the U.S., as 65 percent of Americans stated preference for printed books in 2016. E-books were consumed by 28 percent of respondents in 2016, whereas audio books were listened by 14 percent of the respondents. Millennials accounted for the largest share of printed book readers in the U.S. – 72 percent as of 2016.

Full edition for scientific use. PUMA Surveys consist of separate modules designed and prepared by different principle investigators. This PUMA Survey consists of three modules: MODULE 1 "Non-Health Influences on Generic Health Ratings: Comparing the Susceptibility of Self-Rated Health (SRH) and the Minimum European Health Module (MEHM) to Biases Due to Optimism, Hypochondriasis, and Social Desirability", MODULE 2 "Online completion versus face-to-face completion. Testing mixing modes of data collection for Austrian social surveys", MODULE 3 "Concerns of Smartphone Owners When Using their Device for Research". Fieldwork was conducted by Statistics Austria.

MODULE 1: Non-Health Influences on Generic Health Ratings: Comparing the Susceptibility of Self-Rated Health (SRH) and the Minimum European Health Module (MEHM) to Biases Due to Optimism, Hypochondriasis, and Social Desirability (Patrick Lazarevič, Martina Brandt, Marc Luy, Caroline Berghammer)
Self-rated health (SRH) is the most widely used single-indicator of health in many scientific disciplines (Jylhä 2009). Even though more comprehensive approaches to measure generic health exist, they are often too time consuming for survey interviews, especially in multi-thematic surveys, due to time limitations. Research in this regard has shown that, even when controlling for comprehensive health information, SRH is noticeably and independently influenced by non-health factors like satisfaction with life or social participation (e.g., Lazarevič 2018). While these results illustrate that health ratings are influenced by non-health factors, the personality traits that are assumed to bias SRH (e.g., optimism, social desirability, or hypochondriasis) are typically not directly measured. The Minimum European Health Module (MEHM), as proposed by Robine & Jagger (2003), complements SRH with the questions whether the respondent suffers from a chronic disease and whether and to what extent they are limited in their usual activities due to a health problem. Thus, MEHM can be seen as a compromise between using SRH as a single-indicator and a comprehensive scale while covering the two most relevant factors for health ratings, i.e., chronic diseases and the functional status (Lazarevič 2018). While MEHM is obviously less time- and cost-intensive than more comprehensive approaches to measure health and there was some research done on its components separately (e.g., Berger et al. 2015), hardly anything is known about its usefulness as a short-scale of generic health, its overall psychometric properties, and its susceptibility to non-health factors potentially biasing the health measurement. This module tested the feasibility and utility of using the Minimum European Health Module (MEHM) as a short scale for measuring generic health. We demonstrate the feasibility of extracting a factor score from MEHM utilizing confirmatory factor analyses based on polychoric correlations. Further analyses suggest that this factor score might be useful in reducing bias in generic health measurement due to optimism and social desirability.

MODULE 2: Online completion versus face-to-face completion. Testing mixing modes of data collection for Austrian social surveys (Markus Hadler, Franz Höllinger, Anja Eder)
Collecting data online is a promising tool, given the problems survey research faces in terms of lowering response rates and increasing costs. Yet, the results on the comparability of online and face-to-face surveys are ambiguous (see Roberts et al. 2016). Therefore, the aim of our research is to test differences in responses when completing surveys online compared to collecting the same data face-to-face. Our PUMA-module collects some of the core ISSP questions online, which were asked face-to-face (CAPI) in the same time-period. The topics of the ISSP questionnaires 2017 and 2018 are “Social Networks” and “Religion.” At face value, we expect that these two areas may attract different respondents when conducted online as compared to face-to-face. Online networking should be more prevalent and traditional religious activities less common among the online respondents. If there are no significant differences between these two samples, our study will be a strong indicator that online tools are valid instruments. Therefore, the mixed modes design aims to break new ground in understanding the advantages and limitations, the costs and benefits of combining online and face-to-face interviews in Austria on the basis of two prominent survey modules from the International Social Survey Programme.

MODULE 3: Concerns of Smartphone Owners When Using their Device for Research (Florian Keusch, Martin Weichbold)
Smartphone use is on the rise worldwide (Pew Research Center 2017). Survey researchers are aware that smartphone users increasingly complete online surveys on their mobile devices and have investigated the quality of survey data provided via...

Please report any data errors or problems to user support, and we will work with you to resolve any data-related issues. The American National Election Study (ANES): 2016 Pilot Study sought to test new instrumentation under consideration for potential inclusion in the ANES 2016 Time Series Study, as well as future ANES studies. Much of the content is based on proposals from the ANES user community submitted through the Online Commons page, found on the ANES home page. The survey included questions about preferences in the presidential primary, stereotyping, the economy, discrimination, race and racial consciousness, police use of force, and numerous policy issues, such as immigration law, health insurance, and federal spending. It was conducted on the Internet using the YouGov panel, an international market research firm that administers polls that collect information about politics, public affairs, products, brands, as well as other topics of general interest. The purpose of this study was to test questions for inclusion on the ANES 2016 Time Series, as well as other future ANES studies. Respondents were selected from the YouGov panel survey administered on the Internet. Response to these surveys are on a volunteer basis. The data are not weighted. This collection contains two weight variables, WEIGHT and WEIGHT_SPSS. The variable WEIGHT is the weight for analysis that is intended to generalize to the population. The variable WEIGHT_SPSS is the weight recommended to be used by SPSS users not using the Complex Samples procedures and will account for the smaller effective sample size. For more information on weights, please see the ANES 2016 Pilot Study Codebook and User Guide found within the zip package, as well as visit the ANES Data Center Web site. United States citizens age 18 or older. Smallest Geographic Unit: state The study was conducted on the Internet using the YouGov panel. The YouGov panel consists of a large and diverse set of over a million respondents who have volunteered to complete surveys online and who regularly receive invitations to do so. They receive points usually worth about 21 to 50 cents for each survey they complete. The points are redeemable for various gift cards, a YouGov t-shirt, or UNICEF a donation. A respondent has to complete about 40 surveys to be eligible for any reward. Respondents were selected from the YouGov panel by sample matching. Matching is intended to make the individuals who complete the survey represent the population on the variables used for matching. Respondents were matched to United States citizens in the 2010 American Community Survey (ACS) sample by gender, age, race, and education, and to the November 2010 Current Population Survey (CPS) for voter registration and turnout status, and to the 2007 Pew Religious Life Survey on interest in politics and party identification. 1,200 individuals from the YouGov panel were selected for the ANES Pilot Study to match the target population defined by the ACS, CPS, and Pew surveys. After data collection the sample was weighted by YouGov using propensity scores using a logistic regression with age, gender, race/ethnicity, years of education, region, and party identification included in the model.
